Red Hat Goes Full IBM and Says Farewell to CentOS

Fedora won't be changing at all. It's always been the upstream of the next major version of RHEL. Now it will be the upstream of the next major version of CentOS and CentOS will be the upstream of the next minor version of RHEL. By the time stuff makes it to CentOS it will have had lots of time to bake, will have passed RHEL QA, CI, etc.

If you want to read more details about the changes, I wrote a long blog here: https://freedomben.medium.com/centos-is-not-dead-please-stop...

Thanks, I'll read it as, frankly, I've not had time yet to understand exactly what's going on.

Yeah it's surprisingly nuanced and took me time to grok it as well. Part of the challenge was there wasn't really an organized collection of info so people were left to speculate and make assumptions.

Happy to answer any questions you may have afterward, though if you post them here I may miss them but my email is in my profile.
